Visit Holland Park

Got a question about Holland Park?

Guest – “As a regular opera-goer to both covent garden and eno, I was very happy to finally see a performance worth the money I paid for it. "paulo" (julian gavin) was uncompromising, taking risks and created real excitement especially up the top of his voice. "giovanni" (jeffrey black) was intimate but powerful and commanded the sympathy of the audience by acting and at times singing the others off the stage. "francesca" (sheryl barker) was sound but unconvincing and occasionally sounded pushed as the role was in all honesty, too large for her and it will be interesting to see whether she lasts the whole run. The "maletestino" was good and was by the end, hated by the audience and received jovial "boo-ing" (as was the intention). The orchestra and the thick textures were expertly managed by philip thomas. Finally, the production was well thought through and made relatively simple a complex story.”
